Hot topic on one of my Twitter timelines this week was whether it is cultural appropriation for other people (ie not from Lancashire) to eat Lancashire Hotpot or whether it’s a step too far to let anybody from Yorkshire eat it. There was thoughts of some retaliation with the banning of Yorkshire puddings in any town west of Saddleworth. Be aware, there may at some … Continue reading A Word for the Weekend: Rove
Is anybody else desperately waiting for Autumn like I am? Fortunately, the weather has gone cooler here in Liverpool: from endless sunshine to a drizzle of rain now and again, grey skies with the occasional hint of blue peeping through cautiously and a temperature that veers between pleasantly cool to definite chill. It gives me hope that my arms won’t need to be over-exposed for … Continue reading Oh, Autumn: Autumn and Fall hygge
The annual holiday seems like ages away now. I set a reminder on my phone, a countdown using the Days Left widget on my phone. It’s now standing at 17 days past the date. That means I’ve been back at my desk for a week, and the glow of relaxation has begun to fade. I’m not a fan of heat, so our family holidays tend … Continue reading Scotland…. Home of the Brave (and Me as well for a week) and location for Outlander!!!!

The weather turned last week in the UK. From brilliant sunshine, we suddenly had grey skies, a slight chill in the morning and…. joy of joys for a weather obsessed country… proper rain that meant we could finally talk to each other rather than scrunch up our eyes and mutter “Sunny today, isn’t it?” I was away all last week… hence the radio silence… and … Continue reading Holidays with Hygge
I had a complaint from a member of the Hygge Nook last week. To know how unusual that is, you have to remember that this is a group of 11,000 people for whom one of the big arguments last year was whether to put the jam or the cream on first. They’re a friendly, hyggely, accepting lot who appreciate differences add spice but work best … Continue reading A Weekend With….. Amy Bull
